The wards of Vyacheslav Grigorov for a long time managed to restrain the attacking pressure of one of the best teams in the world. However, in the end, the Italians still embodied their advantage in two unanswered goals. Their authors were Martina Piedmonte (66th minute) and Eliza Polly (90+1).

The return match between the Belarusian and Italian squads will be held on October 13. Theoretical chances to continue the fight for the World Cup, our team remains. But we have to admit that the difference in class between the teams is great and it will be incredibly difficult to win back in Florence.

According to the results of the group stage of the European qualification, four winners of the A-League groups received direct tickets to the final stage of the World Cup-2027: Denmark, Germany, Spain and France. The remaining seven vouchers from Europe, as well as a place in the February intercontinental play-off tournament, will be played on the basis of two-round play-offs.

The Belarusians got into the joints, taking first place in the C6 group. Our team scored 9 points and was ahead of the national teams of Kazakhstan (7 points) and Armenia (1).
